R.O.O.T.S. |
| I'm talking' bout roots |
| I can't hate where I'm from |
| Cause where I'm from made me (Cause where I'm from made me) |
| I came from the bottom of the slums |
| But now I got me...me |
| That's because of my roots (Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeeeaaahh) |
| I'm talking' bout roots (Yeah, Yeah, Yeeeaaahh) |
| I'm talking bout roots |
| Hey I can't be mad at what ya'll meet ahead |
| I don't regret my ghetto struggle due to my success |
| It ain't that beautiful to write on overcoming stress |
| Top Ramen noodles thank pappy for the fact I was fed |
| Look at me now but all before hey Mr. Skid Row |
| The dirty south ain't just a name the way I've been poor |
| The projects burnin' white, I call it gizmo |
| Went from a gun to them cars in a Jigga video |
| Can't find a meal to a mil, only God know it |
| No record deal to a deal, I work hard for it |
| Can I live to I'm livin' like my Momma told it |
| Before you rip it, gotta sew it |
| Yeah |
| I'm talking' bout roots |
| I can't hate where I'm from |
| Cause where I'm from made me (Cause where I'm from made me) |
| I came from the bottom of the slums |
| But now I got me...me |
| That's because of my roots (Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeeeaaahh) |
| I'm talking' bout roots (Yeah, Yeah, Yeeeaaahh) |
| I'm talking bout roots |
| Hey, still on my coupe but can't take |
| Somebody had to be just to get away |
| My sister had to leave, I respect her stayin safe |
| Oh yea I had to grieve but I'm stronger to this day |
| Pain, I can't ignore it, you might say I'm ignorant |
| I'm mistakin' for courage, which victory so gorgeous |
| Make it through two Bush, I can make it through any forest |
| Hunger gave me the wish, but the bottom is so important |
| 37 ave and 187 street, Miami (Karat city), now I'm part of a legacy |
| I'm thankful for the hood, what is love without jealousy |
| There's only five letters really help me |
| I'm talking' bout roots |
| I can't hate where I'm from |
| Cause where I'm from made me (Cause where I'm from made me) |
| I came from the bottom of the slums |
| But now I got me...me |
| That's because of my roots (Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeeeaaahh) |
| I'm talking' bout roots (Yeah, Yeah, Yeeeaaahh) |
| I'm talking bout roots |
| Hey I know the seeds been planted |
| It's damaging my soul but my dreams been granted |
| That triple life towards, much deeper than nurse planet |
| What could I want more than redoing I never planned it |
| Gets no lower than a grabbin' on your feet |
| A man will stand for nothin'if he fall off with the feet |
| A baller and a hitter all in the street |
| If you look beneath the sand then we all need a crease |
| Roots before the branches, roots before mansions |
| Roots before your paper crazier than Marilyn Manson |
| Roots with your grandparents, roots under your canvas |
| Roots whether you black, white, or Spanish |
| I'm talking' bout roots |
| I can't hate where I'm from |
| Cause where I'm from made me (Cause where I'm from made me) |
| I came from the bottom of the slums |
| But now I got me...me |
| That's because of my roots (Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeeeaaahh) |
| I'm talking' bout roots (Yeah, Yeah, Yeeeaaahh) |
| I'm talking bout roots. |
